For my determined purpose is that I might know Him, that I might progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His person more strongly and more clearly. Philippians 3:10

I'm fah'len for Bah'ston

My dearest (missed) siestas,

I'm so sorry I haven't had a chance to catch up with all of you this past week. We had our first full week of classes last week. And now I have a friend visiting until Thursday. So, if I'm not being a major Greek nerd, I'm being a major Bah-ston tourist. And I have good news: Jesus is giving me a love for this strange new city! In contrast, I have had my head so crammed with Greek this week, that it is beginning to hurt a bit. I had a heated discussion with the language recently, but we're reconciled now. So don't worry :) I have to tell y'all something though, and if it makes you feel like you need to pray for me, I'll understand. My bff (Mandy) and her hubbie were dying laughing at me because ... well ... I have Greek flashcards on my keyring. I'm for real y'all. And yes - I use them. But y'all, it lets me love Him more...I have to!

Anyway, I've got to get back to things. I'll leave with you just a few pictures, but I promise to give you a lot more on my next post. (I'm just a visual person that loves photos, don't you?). I can't wait to give you all a big blog hug in catching up with your lives this weekend.

In Starbucks studying today. And yes, those are my keys on the ledge behind me with the flash cards attached.Being tourist in front of the Paul Revere statue. It was really cool.See all of those signs pointing in the respective position for its street? Seriously, could you even begin to know which direction to go? My mind feels a bit like this still when I drive around here in this city :)

Shelly! I'm all about your greek flashcards. Love it! Also, I am so eager to learn more about Boston through you. Neither my husband or I have been there and have been discussing saving up to make a trip. You'll have to tell me all of the touristy places! Have a wonderful week!

We've missed you!!! Glad to hear you are doing well, busy, but well. I think you are one smart girl for using keychain flashcards. You might start a new trend when people take notice that you're the smartest one in the class. The street sign is cracking me up. I thought it was some type of historical marker when I first glanced at it, but that is seriously how they get around. It's great.

I wasn't going to go "there' but I see Mandy did.I was perhaps wondering if while walking the street with your "friend" you might have happened on some male models getting ready for a photo shoot.;)Very nice! :)Glad you are loving your new surroundings. Can't wait to hear your thoughts once the real cold weather settles in.Love the pictures--keep em coming.

Shelly,I love the pictures :)I have been getting a care package ready for you :)I have had a ball!! It is fun to shop for a girl for once with all these boys around here :)I am glad you and your "friend" are having fun!!Much love,Kim
